Development Pitch
I see this story as a film with scenes of comedy and drama that describes the true story of the purchase and sale of the London Bridge, as well as all the true historical episodes of World War II, however, it was adapted with a pretense novel to give life to the other characters. Still today, anybody else who is not a Londoner, when thinking in the London Bridge, imagine the famous bridge with the two towers, but it isn’t, that’s the Tower Bridge, and this simple misunderstood fact made an entrepreneur in the 1960’s undertake a tremendous journey to promote his real estate development in the middle of the desert of Arizona, purchasing the London Bridge, dismantle it and transport it by cargo ship and trucks to the site of his development. Across the ocean the two protagonists find themselves involved in a complete different atmosphere, and they had to work together to dissimulate their mistake when they arrived in London to buy the London Bridge. Robert McCulloch, Barbra McCulloch, Robert Plummer, Ivan Luckin, Gilbert Inglefield, Peter Studd, are real characters, the rest is work of fiction, created by the author. The establishments and cities described in the episodes are real. The whole story has innumerous historical facts that will be narrated to the viewer through the characters, some real and some fictitious, but involved with the real person brought to the story. It’s a novelty even nowadays and that’s why this story is so captivating for all ages.
